Andrew’s titles and honours, as well as Ms Ferguson’s, were axed last year by the King, in a bid to distance the monarchy from the embarrassing revelations continuing to emerge. However, at the time, it was understood that Beatrice and Eugenie’s royal standing would not be affected in the slightest by their parents’ misfortunes.
But as more details about the Yorks’ dealings with Epstein emerged, the sisters’ status amid the royal feud sparked debate about how their future could unfold.
Now royal expert Jennie Bond said that it would be best if the York sisters left their royal status behind.
She told the Mirror: “I don’t think either of them has ever flaunted their titles, but there’s obviously a huge cachet in some circles about being called a Princess. A title like that opens doors and sets up connections, which both Beatrice and Eugenie have used to their advantage.
“There’s nothing wrong in that, but now that their father has been stripped of his titles and their mother can no longer use hers, they might like to quietly drop the use of theirs.
“I don’t see the need for them to renounce them publicly, but it might be prudent to sever links with the York name — now so very tarnished —and just use their married names.”
